Rigging a telescopic cane pole ?

I recently purchased a Shakespeare telescoping pole. I don't know how to tie line on it. Do I just tie my line to the tip eye? (I think a fish might pull the tip off of pole) Or do I tie my line to bottom of pole and wrap it around pole to the tip. And if I do will I have to untie to collapse pole. Any pics or links tp pics or video sure would help.

just tie it to the tip. it will bend and unless you get a fish that is way too big for it, you won't have any problems i tied mine right behind the tip and ran the line twice through the tip and then put some heat shrink over where i tied it. works great.

Thanks for the info. I'll let you know how it turns out.
